If my work permit was issued in Phuket, will I be able to do all immigration-related things in Bangkok (such as 90 day reporting, extensions, etc.)? For my arrival card, I wrote in a Bangkok address

TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, you can handle immigration-related tasks such as 90-day reporting and extensions in Bangkok, even if your work permit was issued in Phuket. The key factor is your registered address for immigration matters, not necessarily where your work permit was issued.
90 DAY REPORTING RESOURCES / SERVICES
  • Use the trusted Thailand 90 Day Reporting Serviceto get your in-person report done and mailed to you for as low as 375 THB (even if the online system doesn't work for you).
  • For immediate assistance, contact Thai Visa Centre directly via LINE at @ThaiVisaCentre or Email them.
  • Join the Thai Visa Advice Facebook Group to ask your questions, and get advice from others.

Work permits aren't technically visa advice, and is slightly outside of the scope of this group. Before everyone posts their work permit, and where they are allowed to work, I'm closing comments.

Angela Chang, if you have further questions, message one of the mods and we'll reopen the post

You do the Immigration things at the Immigration Office where your address is registered.

What you wrote on the arrival card is not important as that information is due to time limits not used or stored in any database

I'm not working in Phuket. Just the work permit was issued there.
